Obama is destroying American values

I am amazed at how people are swayed by political ads that are not even close to being truthful and have absolutely no facts attached them. Watching the Obama ads are a classic example of how reality is distorted. However, for now, just forget the ads and lets look at few Obama issues that should affect every American:

1) Obama doesn’t even salute the American flag. The debates will go on for decades about whether he was born in Kenya and is a Muslim, but the reality is he does not respect America and shows it by not even Pledging Allegiance to our flag. This is most basic form of respect for this country in which so many of our relatives have died and he won’t embrace the most symbolic function of the office of the president of the United States! This alone should eliminate him from office.2) He actually voted against English as being our national language. We are all Americans and our country deserves a national language . Why would anyone think English shouldn’t be it? All our relatives came here because it is America.

3) His comment about “a bump in the road” when an Ambassador and SEALS recently were killed. That is so out of touch with American values it just plain hurts. Its another example of his lack of leadership and is unacceptable.

4) Romney’s taxes are an issue why? He has been audited constantly and nothing was found so he is in compliance with all the U.S. tax codes. Why are you blaming him for his taxes? Your government wrote the code and he simply uses is as any U.S. citizen does. What a crock!

5) His ObamaCare tax has many additional taxes that will impact all of us. As taxpaying Americans know, once a tax is put in place it never goes away and can and will be raised at will. You are fooling yourselves if you think this will not hit you hard.

6) Contrary to other letters, Obama has weakened the welfare policy and it will get worse elected again. People lose their incentive to work because we give them so much to do nothing. Certainly there are people in a situation that they can’t work and deserve help, but clearly there are many that can and do not. The Dems blame the rich for the “entitled’s” lack of accountability and initiative. Its just another excuse to weaken this country by making people dependent on the government.

What keeps me up at nights is America has lost its identity under Obama. We now have the rich against the poor, the war on women, Union vs. Non-union, illegal’s vs. legal, Government vs. Church, and created a “welfare entitled” country rather than a working America. Other countries don’t respect us as we get weaker every day. I’m convinced Obama wants to “break” the America we grew up with and keep us a divided and fractured Country. With Obama and the Democrats growing government to centralize as much as they can, we are showing all the signs of a socialist country-to-be. Voters are being brainwashed into thinking its best if the Government controls everything, yet every day we read about wasted and misused billions of dollars in our Government. We need a Government that strives to be the most efficient business model in the world, yet it continues to be the most wasteful with no desire nor incentive to reduce spending and give us some tax relief. We deserve a leaner and faster government rather than the current over-paid, over-pensioned, over-employed, under-utilized government we have.

In addition, Obama makes constant claims that “assume” Romney will hurt all of these people. Its pure baloney and another scare tactic. Compare that to a real live Obama and Dems Senate that has made everything worse. Do you think having 47 million people on food stamps is really progress? With four more years of Obama, the USA will look more like Greece. Tax and spend has never worked in the past, and it will not work now. Its just another way Obama is working to slowly break this country.

We can no longer afford Obama and his smoke screen politics. The government must stop trying to take money from people that have worked a lifetime, so they can “redistribute” it to whomever they want to, including themselves. It is a dangerous path we are on.
